The News (Al-Naba')
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
۞ What do they quarrel about? 1 About the awesome tidings [of resurrection] 2 concerning which they have disputes. 3 But they will soon come to know. 4 Again, by no means! anon they shall know. 5 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, 6 and the mountains as pegs (to anchor the earth)? 7 And We have created you in pairs. 8 and We appointed your sleep for a rest; 9 and We appointed night for a garment, 10 and made the day to seek livelihood, 11 And We have built above you seven strong ones, 12 and We appointed a blazing lamp 13 And from the wind-driven clouds We send down waters pouring in abundance, 14 So that We bring forth thereby corn and vegetation. 15 and gardens dense with foliage? 16 Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed, 17 The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds; 18 And the heaven will be opened – it therefore becomes like gates. 19 And the mountains will have been removed away, and they will have become as mirage. 20 Truly, Hell is a place of ambush, 21 The destination of the rebellious. 22 Where they will remain for aeons, 23 Finding neither sleep nor any thing to drink 24 save boiling water and wash of the wounds; 25 Recompense fitted! 26 For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds), 27 And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial. 28 And all things have We preserved on record. 29 [And so We shall say:] "Taste, then, [the fruit of your evil doings,] for now We shall bestow on you nothing but more and more suffering!" 30
